Re: [M100] 100/102 to USB?
Thanks gentlemen. I'd used serial cables (null modem) for transferring files between DOS and Windows machines before. Forgot about the 100/102 Telcom method. I'm creating a database of all the aircraft we have at the New England Air Museum. http://www.neam.org/shell.php?page=aircraft_collection Much easier to use my 100, walking from plane to plane, than my Win10 laptop. Once created, I'll import the data into our main ResourceMate cataloguing system. Tom M.

Re: [M100] 100/102 to USB?
I thought of managing my weekly shopping list on a 102 since the typing would be much easier than "hunting and pecking" with my fingers on a smartphone. Don't know if the people at the supermarket would "freak-out" seeing someone wandering around with an obvious computer with everyone carrying a much more powerful computer (in their phones) all the time, how ironic?

Re: [M100] Terminal for Mac
Minicom and Serial are good options: https://www.decisivetactics.com/products/serial/ I use Serial with my SBCs that have usb serial ports and my Altairduino. David
Re: [M100] Terminal for Mac
I use Serial as well. I used to just use the native terminal but had some issues with a piece of network equipment. Also, typically if I'm connecting to the serial console on a peice of gear at work it's because there is a problem and Serial makes it easy to just connect and go without trying to remember the details of setting up a serial connection from the terminal.

If you use TELCOM, I'd recommend you keep the speed at 1200 or 2400 bauds. While the M100 can do 19200, I had a few issues using faster speed until I got a proper cable and started using mComm/TS-DOS. > I'm creating a database of all the aircraft we have at the New England Air > Museum.

Are you using Super-rom? I was puzzled by the features of Lucid and Lucid DB. I tried to use them for a pet project of mine but the 250 records/table limit made it impossible :o( Eric
Re: [M100] 100/102 to USB?
" I tried to use them for a pet project of mine but the 250 records/table limit made it impossible" I suggest for data entry just use TEXT. You can use tabs or commas as field separators, CRLF as record separator and then import using tab separated CSV on your desktop. Very little overhead this way, maximizing use of your T's RAM. If you want to be able to search on the Pi, you can use the special ADRS.DO or NOTE.DO and ADDRSS or SCHEDL respectively to search. If you have data to search on and you want to distinguish between fields you can use graphic characters as separators as described in the David Lien book. If you want to get really fancy you could make a BASIC program that would process the DO file and format search results on screen. -- John.
